Locura es olvidar los sueños o puede ser demasiada cordura; pero la peor locura es ver la vida tal como es y no como debería ser

@BBCMOTD This whole episode made me smile so much.

Crystal Palace confirm Pierre Sage has signed a contract to become their new head coach.

How do you think he will fare at the club?🤔

[Juan Dickinson @steelyjuan]

Everyone says extending the World Cup to so many teams means the lesser teams are there just to make up the numbers, but to be fair, Germany have held their own.

2am - Haiti vs Scotland

5am - Australia vs Turkey

People diminishing Crystal Palace’s Conference League win because they are the third English side to win it should remember that Leicester, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa all failed to do so. If it were simply about finances, there would have been five English champions.

It's such a nonsensical argument. Real Madrid have won the Champions League 15 times and are the richest club in the world — but there isn't a problem with that. The whole idea stinks of sour grapes. #CPFC

Steve Parish’s handling of Oliver Glasner’s angry reaction to Marc Guehi’s exit proved masterful. Some club chairmen might have dismissed an emotional head coach who challenged their authority. Parish rose above Glasner’s criticism to do what was best for Crystal Palace.

He has to balance the books so Guehi’s departure with his contract expiring was inevitable. Parish also had to work with a manager who had already signalled his intent to leave. Palace were beset with “civil war” headlines and a sense of uncertainty and transition. A winter of discontent, holders knocked out the Cup, 10 games without a win, Glasner barbs at the board, chaos.

Parish got a grip of the situation. Whatever the disagreement over Guehi’s sale, Parish and Glasner had a mutual respect, they cleared the air, the storm passed and they finish the season in glorious style with another trophy.

It’s a pity Glasner’s not staying at Palace, not building on this remarkable momentum and having a crack at the Europa League. Palace will miss Glasner. And he will miss them, a club and board who care. #CPFC

16 years ago today, Crystal Palace travelled to Sheffield Wednesday on the final day of the Championship season needing a point to survive relegation, having been given a 10 point deduction for going into administration in the January of 2010.

The players, despite not having been paid a penny for 3 months continued to play for pure pride in the shirt and managed to get the all important 2-2 draw thanks to goals from Alan Lee and Darren Ambrose. That summer, CPFC2010 took over, having mobilised the fans to protest on the streets and stop the club from being liquidated.

On Thursday night just gone, we won a European semi-final 3-1 away from home against Shakhtar in Krakow, having made it into Europe thanks to the FA Cup win in May of 2025; the first major trophy in the club’s entire history.

The club is a totally different to the one we watched that day at Hillsborough but without the blood, sweat and tears of that group, none of what we’ve gone on to achieve would have been possible.

This has been weighing heavily on me, and I can’t stay quiet about it any longer.

I am 71 years old. I’ve been fortunate enough to attend five World Cups, starting in 1986. Those tournaments weren’t just events to me, they were life chapters. They were about connection, about culture, about standing shoulder to shoulder with people from every corner of the world, united by the game we love.

But what I’m seeing now breaks my heart.

The current dynamic pricing strategy for the upcoming World Cup feels completely detached from the very soul of football. Yes, this tournament is being played mostly in the United States, and yes, it’s a premium market. But football was never meant to be a luxury product reserved for the highest bidder. It belongs to the people. Always has. I looked back fondly at USA 94 and everything we did then to fill stadiums and bring the game to life for Americans who were just dipping their toes into the water of the beautiful game.

Right now, it feels like the average, passionate supporter, the ones who save for years, who travel across continents, who bring the color, the noise, the spirit, are being pushed out. Replaced by a model that prioritizes revenue over reality.
That’s a dangerous road because once you lose the authentic fan, you lose the essence of what makes the World Cup special.

I say this not just as a fan, but as someone who has spent a lifetime in and around the game. During my time at EA SPORTS, we stood shoulder to shoulder with FIFA when they needed it most. Our game kept millions of fans connected to football and to the World Cup when trust in the organization was at its lowest. We helped carry the flame.

Which is why this moment feels even more disappointing.

This may well be one of the last World Cups I have the chance to attend and I find myself wondering if the game I’ve loved all my life is slowly drifting away from people like me, and far more importantly, from the next generation who deserve to feel what I felt in 1986.

The World Cup should unite the world. Not divide it by price.

Football deserves better. And so do the fans. Come on @FIFAcom , sort this out… It’s not too late.

[Five Year Plan 🏆🏆🏆 @FYPFanzine]

This relationship is abusive. You think we don’t deserve you. YOU DON’T DESERVE US.

You’re not putting your all into this anymore. We can see it. The players are showing it. We’ve stood by you, despite your insolence.

We are humble. But we know when someone is taking the piss.

[Five Year Plan 🏆🏆🏆 @FYPFanzine]

Our fanbase has been patient. Understanding. Appreciative. We’ve never experienced the joy you gave us. And we will never forget it.

But you don’t have to insult us. You don’t have to make these comments repeatedly. You have free will. If you want to go, then go.

[Five Year Plan 🏆🏆🏆 @FYPFanzine]

We are humble. We’ve seen some dreadful times as a club. We’ve seen suffering. We’ve hit rock bottom. We love the highs and appreciate the lows.

But we aren’t a charity case. You aren’t just doing us a favour. You’re being paid to do a job, and you keep saying you can’t do it.

@campbellclaret @BurnleyOfficial Did you go to Tasty Jerk while there? Amazing food.

Great news British hockey fans, ITV4’s next free to air match will be between Matthews’ Maple Leafs and MacKinnon’s Avalanche!

Broadcasting will start at 6:30pm on Sunday the 25th of January.

[Juan Dickinson @steelyjuan]

@HLTCO Got a mention in our fantasy football group! Will listen on pod later.

[Juan Dickinson @steelyjuan]

Couldn't agree more with this take.

[Stuart Shave @shave_stuart]

The entitled ones who don’t actually know will tell you different though. Glasner hasn’t helped this situation though with his constant contradictions in interviews. We move on , Palace continues. Thanks OG, did a great job but only supporters and Chairman are fans. #cpfc

[Juan Dickinson @steelyjuan]

Time is just a dimension. All events are equally real. #CPFC winning the FA Cup is a fixed coordinate in spacetime. The past, present, and future are different slices of the same structure, so I’m always happy in the experience, with or without Glasner.
